Business Support Admin Officer FTC Length of contract – 8 months
£26,000 per annum
Derby  – Office based role

Overview
We are currently recruiting a Business Support and Admin Officer to join our small and friendly Head Office team based in Derby. This role is being recruited on a maternity cover basis for approximately 7 to 8 months.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced administrator who enjoys providing high quality, consistent support, and being part of a close-knit team.

The role

You will be one of three administrators who support all Head Office functions including procurement, marketing, health and safety, and general business operations.
The work is steady and process driven rather than fast paced, and quality and accuracy are essential.

Key duties include
  • Providing professional administrative support across the business
  • Handling incoming calls, post, emails and visitors
  • Managing shared inboxes, diaries and meeting room bookings
  • Supporting purchasing processes including requisitions, purchase orders and invoice checks
  • Ordering stationery and office supplies
  • Maintaining accurate records and contact lists
  • Supporting office health and safety responsibilities including fire safety checks
  • Working closely with colleagues to ensure smooth day-to-day office operations
Working hours and flexibility

Full time hours are 37.5 per week, 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Our client is happy to consider part-time working spread across five days if that is your preference.

This is a fully office-based role. Occasional ad hoc flexibility may be available where needed, but this is not a hybrid position.

About you
  • Strong general administration experience
  • Reliable, organised and detail focused
  • Team player with a supportive approach
  • Positive attitude and professional manner
  • Able to follow processes and meet deadlines
  • Clear and courteous communicator
Additional information: No DBS is required for this role; however appropriate safeguarding checks will be carried out as part of referencing.

If you are an experienced administrator looking for a short-term opportunity in a supportive, office-based environment, we would like to hear from you.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis as this advert will be live for one week only. Applications are to be submitted to the client by 5th May, and interviews will take place on the 8th May 26.
